Myself and another AKA Vlm Spyder & AKA Black widow enthusiest are trying to put together a list with pictures of all the Vlms & Blackwidows we can find. If you own one please let me know.

There were a total of about 30 VLM bodies

And a confirmed 33 AKA Blackwidow Spyders made.

We know of the old vlm thread. Its very outdated and many pictures are gone.

If you have pictures of Vlm or Blackwidow and know who owns them please post them or email me. Cougar20th at hotmail.com

Thanks for your help and we hope to have something going shortly. Its going to be alot of sorting.

This was one for sale on the tinkers guild.

Mine:

AKAPP/LMP Javelin Barrel
Palmers Fatty Stabalizer

Hogue .45 grips






Here's info I got from Auctionjunkie! and The Lady of the Lake. This is a PM I sent to them with questions when I first got my AKAPP Black Widow Spyder.

I posted the info in this PbN thread a couple years ago.

We are still compiling. Only started yesterday. As soon as I have a list going I will post here and let everyone know.

FYI: this post gives first and last serial numbers. I cant do math I guess the true # was 33 because there was a 0000 s/n

Warfinge (1) Raw body original aka milled, Now some mild custom milling

Warfinge is me for those who don't already know. I once upon a time owned the Teal VLM before I sold it to Cougar. Ever really hated yourself for selling a marker?

Anyway Brewtt, is that the stock grip? I thought they had something like proteam grips on the widows. I am envious of your widow. I could have had a body for $125 once and I passed like a dunce. What was I thinking?


Oh and as far as I know, there are no serials on the VLMs. I have fondled two so far and none that I could see anyway.

I don't know... and truthfully I don't think it is the original stock frame. It is however the one that came with it when I bought it from some dude on PBN.

Here's the pic as it came to me. Photo by the dude I got it from.


I, too, remember another one on sale on PBN a few years back. I kick myself all the time for not just buying it.

[MartyW]

Well if you had this very expensive grip and a classic sidewinder, it would be in stock trim and priceless. Wanna sell it?

[Dewok82]

PTP frame ftw.

I know it's not a VLM, but it has all AKA internals




ps I wonder what that VLM body went for on docsmachine. I put a bid of $206 on it and it wasn't enough.

[MartyW]

It went for more than twice that. I recently met the guy who bought it. Sold him a barrel
